• Negative Sentiment: Several law firms announced or promoted a securities-fraud class action related to disclosures surrounding Regeneron’s failed Phase 3 melanoma trial. The failure reportedly erased approximately $11 billion in market capitalization and prompted allegations that investors were misled about the program.
